Emory is a student at the Aldryn College for Lunar Magics. Each student’s magic is based upon the lunar cycle they were born under. For Emory, her magic has always been that of a healer, but she’s never been very accomplished. When her classmates, including her roommate, Romie, venture into a cave and all turn up dead, Emory is left with the feeling that there is something more behind their deaths, and the many others that came before them. What she begins to discover is that her magic is changing and there are secrets to her past she is only now discovering. Teaming up with Romie’s brother, Baz, who she believes can help her unlock the truth behind Romie’s mysterious actions leading up to that fateful day, they may be in way over their heads and not ready for the reality of their relationship. Although the plot concept was creative, I sometimes felt a little lost in the details and it often felt fragmented or forced. The story had a distinct progression but was a bit predictable in the end. If considering this for your library, I’d recommend this for high school ages as there is a significant bit of language and one romantic encounter, although the details were minimal.
